- - '''The Port of Sacramento''' is an inland river port located off a 200 foot wide deep water navigation channel at the confluence of the ["Sacramento River" Sacramento] and ["American River"]s. Ships access the port from San Francisco Bay and passage up the Sacramento River into the port's 47 mile long deep water channel. Open since 1963, the port has five 600 foot long berths, can handle boats with a 30' draft and provides transportation connections with over fifty trucking companies as well as access to a 200 railcar marshaling yard. The port, which handles 1.3 million tons of commodities annually, also has bulk rice and grains elevators, a bagging facility, and dry bulk cargo warehousing alongside additional services such as - - receiving from ship, truck or rail car - weighing - sampling and analysis - storage - loading out to ship, truck or rail car - stevedoring - - == Products handled by the port include == - bagged rice - safflower seed - wood chips - news print - sand, aggregate & decorative rock - logs - lumber & fiberboard - pelletized kaolin clay - bulk rice - bulk & bagged fertilizer - *bulk & bagged wheat - - The Port of Sacramento also owns approximately 3,000 acres of waterfront land along the ship channel and in the ["The Delta" Sacramento Delta]. This land is a combination of upland habitat, riparian habitat and wetlands, and is available for mitigation banking for central valley real estate projects. - - The [wiki:davis:"Californiaman Triathlon"] conducted the swimming portion of its race out of the port in 2005. UC Davis [wiki:davis:"Crew" Rowing] and the [http://www.rivercityrowing.org/ River City Rowing Club] both have docks and boathouses at the port, and are on the water every morning for training. - - == History == - In the late 1920s, after the ["Delta King"] was retired and permanently moored on the [wiki:sacramento:"Old Sacramento"] waterfront as a restaurant and hotel, William G. Stone envisioned an inland Port of Sacramento. At the end of World War II, he convinced the US Army Corp of Engineers to restudy the deep-water project. The Corps' study proposed a 43-mile channel cut from the ["Sacramento River"] near ["Rio Vista"] to Lake Washington in ["West Sacramento" Washington Township], ["Yolo County"]. On August 7, 1949, over 5,000 spectators witnessed the ground breaking of an expected four-year $18 million project, only to be derailed months later by the Korean War. With renewed funding signed by President Dwight Eisenhower in 1955, the project continued and by August 1959 the dredge "San Diego" moved through a cut in the ["Yolo Bypass"] and began dredging eastward towards Lake Washington -- it finally broke through in December of the same year. On June 29, 1963, the port opened for business, welcoming its first arrival, the Motor Vessel Taipei Victory. - - ------- - ''Some content originally taken from [wiki:davis:"Front Page" Davis Wiki].''
